Meet mixed medium artist Brigette Kozash!

Brigette has become a major arts influencer in our community.  After moving to Nacogdoches in 2014 to pursue her BA in History, she graduated in 2017 and decided to stay.  Brigette has been involved in the planning of ArtFest since it’s inception and is one of the founders of Fire House Art Studio & Collective, a group of young artists and studios, also hosting art fairs, music shows, exhibits and workshops.  Kozash was also a founding board member of Nacogdoches Arts Collaborative and continues to volunteer with the nonprofit.

Brigette has worked in linocut, writing & publishing and stained glass.  In 2021, she focused her artistic endeavors on stained glass where she has thrived, not only becoming a talented glass artist but also having a brisk retail business doing both original creations and commissions.  Brigette has been a featured artist at recent Nac ArtWalks and has also been vending her wares at events in Houston and all around East Texas.  You can see her work at www.cheekchewer.com.
